Creative real estate company, First & First, approached Gaardhouse about a video piece that captured the essence of what they do: Transforming neglected spaces into inspired places. Oh, and it needed to include a skate-boarder. I had the pleasure of working with director Zechariah Thormodsgaard in concepting this spot, which transitions different artists to reflect the creativity in the tenants that reside in spaces that First & First creates. The crew at Gaardhouse did an amazing job of crafting this piece. Thank you, thank you!

My friends at Colle McVoy invited me to create a social media experience for their “Real Inspiration” blend coffee campaign, for Caribou. I discovered a great story in how the blend was inspired by the everyday things. This story was condensed into a script. So I decided to visualize this story on Pinterest with repins from all over Pinterest - An inspiration story told through inspirations. Repinned words and images created a board you could literally read from left to right, top to bottom. The repins themselves created buzz, driving traffic to the board. See the board.

Cadillac: CTS Sport Sedan "Front to Back". The brief was to bring to life the somewhat hard-to-grasp fact that the CTS has an almost perfectly balanced chassis, giving it incredibly agile handling. How? The weight distribution is so close to perfect, front to back, that you can tear through corners driving it back to front. What you see in this spot is completely real. No CGI. No camera tricks. I had the pleasure of working with director Jeff Zwart on this. Big ups. Writer: Jeremiah Follet.

An augmented print ad running in tandem with the TV spot. By placing your smart phone over the image, you can watch the cars come to life as the spot plays.

As expected, many have questioned the authenticity of the spot. So we created this interactive :15s cut down where viewers can see three alternate camera angles of the cars, showing that they are not rigged together or otherwise connected. You can enlarge any of the alternate angles by clicking on them.

A tablet magazine ad that plays on the notion of balance, and the tablet's orientation. As it is tilted and rotated, all elements of the ad, except the car and the headline, tumble and fall off balance. The ad resolves to the spot.

This trailer for the Twin Cities Film Fest feeds my obsessive compulsion to watch movie trailers for hours on end. I concepted, co-directed and shot this in Minneapolis with THE PENCIL PROJECT on a shoestring budget.

(Nike) Bauer: Live The Game. Nike sold Bauer, taking with them the large budgets and the elite brand association. Bauer desperately needed a new platform and brand overhaul.

Massive ice cred. The experience ends with a shareable video of the winning goal and your name in the headlines. Designer: Dain Larson.

(Nike) Bauer: Vapor X:60 Skate Pre-launch Campaign. As part of the brand relaunch, Bauer developed a new pro-level hockey skate, the Vapor X:60. We created this spot for retail and in-arena events to build up hype around the launch date. Production: Motion 504.

Playing off the product name "Vapor" we used the burnt outline of the skate for in-arena banners and a retail wall cling, to tease the launch of Bauer's pro-level skate. The cling replaced one of the skates in a row of skate-talkers, appearing like a burnt hole through the wall. Writer: Derek Bitter. Photographer: Jonathan Chapman.

(Nike) Bauer: Vapor X:60 Skate Feature. One of many product features I designed that lived in a new Bauer.com. This one was for the Vapor X60 skate and included bucket loads of wallpapers, videos and other shareable content.
